Has your daycare had a COVID positive?

Our school (in Arlington) has had one case. It didn’t spread. The school two blocks away had one case that quickly became 4 cases and then they shut down the school for two weeks (which was wise). I don’t know if it spread any further or not.

Eh I think there is too much randomness and luck involved. Some people spread the virus much more than others for poorly understood reasons.

You also can't tell where the virus spread if classmates' families socialize outside school. I know that happens a lot at our school, both with precautions and without.

If they are not testing weekly its impossible to know if there are positives as kids are more likely at that age to be asymptomatic.

Our daycare closed once for a day after a positive of a parent who had been in the building. They tested all teachers the same day, and when all same day results came back reopened the next day. All teachers are tested weekly and 50% of kids rotating each week.

Our preschool/daycare closed down three classrooms in November.

I think most follow the same procedures recommended by CDC and state department of health.
